Geography and climate
Fujian borders Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west and faces East China Sea to the east, South China Sea to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the southeast.
The province is mostly mountainous, and is traditionally described to be "Eight parts mountain, one part water, and one part farmland" (八山一水一分田). The northwest is higher in altitude, with the Wuyi Mountains forming the border between Fujian and Jiangxi. The highest point of Fujian is Huanggang Peak in the Wuyi Mountains, with an altitude of 2157 m.
The River Min Jiang and its tributaries cut through much of northern and central Fujian. Other rivers include the Jinjiang River and the Jiulong River. Due to its uneven topography, Fujian has many cliffs and rapids.
Fujian has a subtropical climate, with warm winters. In January the coastal regions average around 7-10 °C(45-50℉) while the hills average 6-8 °C(43-46℉). In summer temperatures are high, and province is threatened by typhoons coming in from the Pacific. Average annual precipitation is 1400-2000 mm.
